We ended up setting up a new system and copied over the Data by an API Script. it seems the known way of converting the DB is not supported with the solarwinds DB

Is this a NCM only Installation or do you have other modules installed?

I have no Idea how much NSO costs nowadays. The Reddit-post ist about 2 years old and things might have changed. I came across many mentionings of ansible but I have never seen it "in action", nor have I seen any cost calculations how it compares to NCM. There are many solutions out there that have a high price tag, if…

i'd go with an additional polling engine, assuming bandwidth and latency are OK. Reason: better planning with licenses / correlation in reports between servers and sites possible / only one "instance" to maintain / EOC is not (yet) a thing I would recommend -> we are getting there but not yet / single site to look at / ...…

1) depending on the Modules and the license count you have in your Corp site. to fully answer the price of the whole Install we need more info. the additional poller is about 19K$ List price... don't know what your discounts are.. 2) that's where "Dependencies" come into place. Make everything at your corp site dependent…

No it can't. At least it won't be supported in case you get it to start up. Read the Requirements here NPM 12.0 system requirements - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Are those servers rebooted on a daily basis? At what time are they rebooted?

Have you seen this link here : Scalability Engine Guidelines for SolarWinds Orion Products - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support take this as a rough estimate, if you need to call Support frequently take it as your hard guide and stick to the maximum numbers. unfortunately each module has its own performance…

When you can wait for the new HA, it supports different subnets. It should be GA any time soon. 1 to my knowledge you can have more than one Server in a HA (but I am not 100% sure) 2 you could use a shared SQL server, however I would use a dedicated SQL with HA.

Maybe something completely different. Is your Application running on windows and writing windows eventlogs? then you could use the eventlog component monitor to find the start of the backup. just trying to think outside the box

I would create a template for each Service/Application it’s easier in my opinion to identify where the issue is. you can also reuse the template on other machines.

Maybe aLTeReGo​ s Script here might help you Log Parser (PowerShell) Cheers, Holger

Just out of curiosity, could you check with the Solarwinds Agent if this would show the correct values? Did you do a SNMP Walk to see the incorrect values? cheers, Holger

back in the good old days i'd say: go crazy you young coding kids. Nowadays...try to use the API. I have seen too many upgrades go byebye for clients where they have messed too much with the DB. For your alerting task it might be a bit too much to ask to write a script as it is a one time task. ***sshhhhh*** don't tell…

The return messages from the device are shown in the ConfigManagementTab where you have a List of all the executed tasks/jobs in my opinion you can do this either way. -> execute script directly or let this run by a job. It does the same in the background. what happens when you manually type the commands in the console via…

The alerting engine has no such thing as a "real time" sending mechanism. The time when a Mail is sent is defined by your alert configuration. maybe you can provide some more insights on what you are trying to accomplish and what is not working as expected just like @*chrisb* mentioned.

Credentials are the only thing that can't be transferred that easily. Everything else can be done via the API. I did this already with 3 of my clients. just like cnorborg​ mentioned, when you have a central monitoring credential set, the migration should be feasible. did you reach out to a SolarWinds consulting company for…

I am working on a similar issue at the moment (with 2 Custom Pollers). I assume this will also end in a custom SQL or SWQL Alert. If you are successful, let me know. Cheers, Holger

These Permissions are required for proper performance. You will notice a decrease in the Web-GUI Performance when the permissions are not set. I dont have the technical background WHY the permissions are needed for NPM and web gui but here's an article why it is needed for NCM: Success Center

NCM only does not have the ability to gather connection information between nodes. You need NPM for this.

just like superfly99​ assumes, I also think that real time config change detection is not working as it should. your config-download-jobs might be "hard-coded" to your existing devices in NCM and do not include newly added devices.

Hi Richard, what calculation is behind IP Address to GUID? is this a "known" function? Thanks

Hi Folks, after studying the SDK Documents I do not see anything special needed for SNMPv1 versus SNMPv2. I already tried the Allow64BitCounter set to '$False', in fact this was the initial setting but still no luck. The only thing I found to be needed is the Details Poller. Any help is appreciated

You might want to check the ${Delay:X} variable, where X is the delay in seconds

What are your server Specs, also the SQL server Specs. i am guessing your Main poller can‘t write the data fast enough to the database.

For now we decided to "delete" the node and "add" it again. This leads to the loss of all Config backups but we copy those to another location. So it is a workaround, but not a good one.....

Do you monitor over the WAN and do you use some form of WAN optimization? I found that with one of my clients, they were getting strange snmp errors after implementing WAN Optimization boxes. What does your "polling Completion" value say?

So to keep a little Update here: we ran the almighty Hubble and found an unusual high Percentage on "Database Time" so currently we are suspecting a Database issue. Other than that there is also an unusual high amount "other" time that we suspect to be related to IIS. More to come - Auf wiedersehen

Hi Tobi, I see you are located in Austria. I am not too far away from you in Germany (Bavaria), if you want you can drop me a personal message and I will get in touch with you, we can even talk german

Do you have the need to do this on a regular basis? There is the possibility to import nodes from virtually any source using the API/SDK. if this is something you want to know have a look into the Orion SDK Forum or the wiki on GitHub GitHub - solarwinds/OrionSDK: SDK for the SolarWinds Orion platform, including tools,…
